Children of the 90s. (And 80s!!!)
« on: September 06, 2011, 02:21:21 pm »
I grew up in the 90s and I'm sure most of you did too. So I have a few questions for you:

What was the best/your favorite 90s movie?

What was the best/your favorite 90s cartoon?

what was the best/your favorite 90s TV Show?

What was the best/your favorite 90s band?

If you could bring back a single clothing trend from the 90s what would it be?

What is/was your favorite game of the 90s (that you actually played in the 90s)

Only 1 rule: Any TV series or cartoon had to start in the 90s (so no DuckTales, unfortunately).

If you grew up in the 80s just sub 80s for 90s!

My answers are:

Empire Records
Batman: The Animated Series
The X-Files
Nirvana
Jnco (not that I would wear Jnco jeans today, but they were freaking awesome).
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Illusion of Gaia (sorry, I have to have 2).

Independence Day
Animaniacs
Friends
Slipknot
When I see people trying to bring the 80s and 90s back, a little part of me dies inside.

'83 here so I did 80's instead, sorry. Also, I'm not doing my favorites NOW, I'm doing what I remember most fondly.

Movie: The Dark Crystal
Cartoon: Care Bears
TV: Who's the Boss? (My mom LOVED this show, so we never missed it. Haven't seen it since it originally aired though.)
Music: I didn't listen to music in the 80's or 90's much. My first concert was Savage Garden.
Fashion: Totally the pink/neon green combo'd clothes.
Game: Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) or Jumpman Jr. (ColecoVision). I put more time into those two games than I watched Who's the Boss?...

I was born in '83 but I consider myself a child of the 90s. Maybe a child of 1988 through the 90s. I definitely remember slap bracelets and parachute pants! If I was going to go 80s I would do:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom/Batman
TMNT
Alf
Beetlejuice Soundtrack
Slap Bracelets
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
